Infrared Radiometers
The Infrared Radiometer measures remote surface temperatures to
within 0.2 C.
HYDROLOGY
Dr. William Quinton of the Wilfrid Laurier University has studied the hydrology of cold regions in Canada, where snowmelt runoff is a big contributor to local hydrology.
In one study, Dr. Quinton measured several variables in Yukon Territory, Canada, as a snowdrift containing 10,820 cubic meters of snow melted into runoff. Infrared radiometers mounted on a meteorological tower recorded the soil temperature at the downslope edge of the drift.
